is your scenario not already currently adequately served by going to a community college and transferring to a state college?

I understand and certainly see where that could be the case, especially for steady-state companies. All I'm saying here is that in the context of the current situation, where you have companies transitioning from non-remote to remote,

I think the reality is that you never get the best of both worlds. Companies will not spend on expensive real estate and amenities for people only in the office 2-3 days per week. Either there will have to be big sacrifices (open offices wi

I think it's actually the opposite and I'd be wary of moving remote full time quickly at the moment. The face time with your boss while the rest of the team is remote would be hugely beneficial to your career.

> to allowing ICs to have a choice, doesn't that treat them less like an undifferentiated drone...? No, on aggregate it will be the opposite, I think. Each dev will be treated more like an API--requirements go in and products come o

You said this much better than I could. I'd expect the power of management to increase over individual ICs, too.

I think people are rightfully wary about massive employment changes that could have significant negative consequences. I see a slow shift from treating ICs like people with differentiated skillsets to undifferentiated drones. I think that r

Maximizing productivity can be a shared goal of employer/employees if the employer pays fairly for higher performance (which many tech companies do). At that point it becomes a tradeoff for the employee on cost of going to the office (

I think there is a large portion of people, including me, that really just wants to maximize the reward to effort ratio of ordering from restaurants. The apps give you a one-stop place to filter on quality (reviews are generally good direct

3 healthy meals provided a day for free with someone else cleaning for you is a huge benefit if you're young. Many places have breakfast until 10 and dinner starting at 6, so it's not even a big departure from a normal workday

not obvious to you. I suspect younger generations won't have much of an issue with this, similar to how millenials learned how to utilize google search easily while it confounded their parents

you're making a big assumption that most of the world has great in-home broadband access. this isn't true in many places (e.g. India). mobile networks would get crushed by the uptick in traffic combined with the shift in geographi

I’ve always heard that it inhibits REM (dream) sleep, but as it wears off, your body tries to make up for the lost dream sleep and you get the flood of crazy dreams right before you wake up.

The downside here is that a back injury while squatting/deadlifting or a shoulder injury while pressing can last the rest of your life. Really important to learn good form and start/progress slowly

The Waking Up and Headspace apps have been great for me. I’ve found that meditation is much like regular exercise, where consistency and long term adherence is more important than how much you feel you’re getting out of each individual sess

I don't think you're really disagreeing with him. We all agree that transit stinks even in big metro areas (NY/Chicago are decent but still not to European level). The issue is that in those dense areas it's now extremel

Parents often seem to be the most ardent proponents of remote work, This makes sense, because someone in a relationship with kids spends significant amounts of time with the people they love every day by default. Going to an office just tak

for whatever reason I actually find the leading "and/or" to be more readable than the trailing and/or, as long as there are more than two. The leading commas look too noisy to me, though

Sure, and as part of the people, I think we should allow lies in political ads except in particular concrete cases (e.g. lying about polling dates).

I'm supposedly part of your "we" and I completely disagree with you

I don't think that's the problem. I'm American and I'll generalize a bit and say Americans are generally comfortable with tipping as long as the service is a differentiator for what you receive (full service restaurants,

The same happens to me, but the next day I feel a significant decrease in anxiety. I wonder if the pro-anxiety effects of THC are overcome by the anti-anxiety effects of CBD over time (e.g. the anxiety effects of THC last for a few hours, t

I don't agree with your premise that procrastination is based only on doubt or fear. I certainly didn't put off ironing my clothes for 3 days because I was nervous about my ironing performance. I think it's a combination of e

Don't think it's a geographical split. Crossfit is great if you have really well-informed trainers that put a strong emphasis on getting form and movements correct. Unfortunately there are significant numbers of trainers that do n

I think he's just saying that folks in developing countries get more value of the service (developed countries have much more competition), not that they benefit from tracking more.
